Tasting for a catering event. Wide variety of choices and excellent variation for Italian food. Choose the simple spaghetti and meatball and was above expectations. Fettuccine Alfredo was good but similar sauce with another dish with more accompaniments so choose the other. Gnocchi was favorite by far due to the pasta and the Dijon wine sauce which tasted nothing like mustard nor alcohol—most excellent! Salads were all good. Should have provided beverages at no cost ($3.25 for iced tea isn’t worth it)

Absolutely disappointed! My friend talked to this place up and it was absolutely embarrassing. Whatever activities they were having downstairs did not bleed up into the upstairs area and it definitely was darker and mustier where they placed us upstairs my zucchini noodles were absolutely not cooked properly, I would have rather chewed on a raw spaghetti noodle then endured the texture of a half cooked zucchini noodle! I don't know who thought they were doing a good job in this place or why people think this is anything to go back to but I definitely won't be one. The waitress gave us somebody else's charcuterie tray then literally picked it up off of our table and took it to the other people that's absolutely gross! Why would they take food from our table and give it to someone else I would have never paid for it if I was the other party that saw it happen. The waitress we had didn't know how to work the POS did not know how to work the equipment and definitely didn't even know how to print out a second receipt I asked her how long she's been working there she said her family owns it she needs some training too they will never be a place I want to go back to in fact the company I went with told me that they've never eaten there and will not again they usually take their stuff to go so maybe they impress people if they don't stay so they don't have to clean up after him I don't know all I know is never again.

We were staying at Edgefield and didn't feel like eating there after an expensive and extremely disappointing dinner last time so we decided to try Di Pompello. We were very happy with the service from Jennilee. She was attentive and her recommendations were right on. She recommended the Hazelnut crusted Halibut and my husband had the Penne Boscaiola. Both were delicious, fresh, and perfectly cooked. The vegetables that came with my halibut were fresh and crisp and the small greek salad was perfect. The portions were generous so we didn't have room for dessert. The only thing that could be improved is the bread but the overall value is so fantastic the bread was not important.

The food had no flavors my husband had "jambalaya " no cajun spices detected. I had the stuffed cod, i had to salt it to death, and I was depressed about the risotto. It tasted like just white rice, no wine taste, just Blah!!! And the minestroni was just a bunch of carrots in a tomatoe broth.. not a great

Stopped here during our vacation and was not disappointed. Food was fantastic and the service was great. I got the chicken basil pesto tortellini and my husband got the ribeye, both were great. Staff was very friendly and on top of everything and the food came out quickly. Huge selection of pasta dishes, as well as many alternative options. They have homemade desserts too but we were too full from dinner to try them. Also everything was very reasonably priced for the quality you get. Would definitely go here again if we are back in the area.

It's one thing to find a place with good appetizers, or good entrees, etc., and it's another thing to find a place with good everything. This is that place with good everything. The tiramisu was the best ever, 10/10. You would be hard-pressed to find a better restaurant in the greater Portland/Vancouver area where you can get such high quality food, drinks, and desserts. You get more than your money's worth.
Reserved this place for dinner (family of 4 - two kids and 2 adults) Barely greeted or spoke to by staff. Seated at a table and not asked about a high chair or booster seat, staff seated us and just walked away with no words. We were continuously asking for things we needed, including high chair, napkins, silverware, salt/pepper; even after food was brought out.Food that we ordered had no flavor and was bland. Even after adding salt/pepper it was still bland.Best thing of the whole experience were the cocktails, water and overall pricing. This only is getting two stars based on the low pricing.
One of our favorite places to eat authentic Italian prepared specifically to our request. Saul(owner)is always friendly and we have never had bad service in the past 5 years. Great quality, quanity and price.
